[aur-general] packages with lots of docs?
by Chris Brannon 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

Hi, I'm maintaining ipython in [community]. Right now, the PKGBUILD just removes all the docs. I can see the reasoning. The compressed package size grows nearly five-fold when they are included. I have several options. I can keep on stripping docs, I can include the docs in the ipython package, or I can generate a split package. I wrote a PKGBUILD that produces the split packages ipython and ipython-doc. I noticed that koffice from [extra] has its docs split. But nobody seems to be doing that for anything in [community]. So should I go ahead and commit my split PKGBUILD? -- Chris

[aur-general] Orphan Request
by arcpp.zju＠gmail.com 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hi, there I am the author of ibus-sogoupycc (http://code.google.com/p/ibus-sogoupycc/ ). These package are currently in AUR: 'ibus-sogoupycc' and 'ibus-sogoupycc-svn' and are seriously outdated, currently maintained by another person. I tried to notify that person by email, but no response for several days. Please orphan these packages, so I can maintain these packages. Links: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32200 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31920 Thanks.

by Martti Kühne 08 Mar '10

hello list Uae hasn't been updated for qute a while, and though I can't say how long it was flagged out of date now, I guess it's been a while as well. I'll do it for the time being, have a look at the pkgbuild and see if anything needs some pkg::polish. =) mar77i

I think that the following should be removed: json-wheel - has been renamed to ocaml-json-wheel http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29860 mupad - isn't available from the company anymore (see last comment) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3315 mupad-packages - same reason as mupad http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13128 pyyaml-python - has been renamed to python-yaml http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27758 skype_video_hijacker - has been renamed to gstfakevideo http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13956 libpsychrometric - project seems to be abandoned (download link still works though) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13206 ww2d - seems to have been discontinued and when I ran it on my computer, it seems to be a 32bit only java binary? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3451 ww2d-extra - the maps aren't offered any where anymore. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=3461

[aur-general] moving an optdepend to [community]
by Chris Brannon 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hi all, I want to move python-foolscap [1] to [community], since it is an optdepend for ipython. It satisfies the guidelines for packages entering [community]. Any objections? -- Chris [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35278

[aur-general] Orphaning request for go-openoffice-de
by Adam Hani Schakaki 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

Hello, go-openoffice-de had no updates a long time and it is updated. The maintainer didn't manage it to update, as he said. I couldn't reach the maintainer by comment or email, so I created a new one (go-openoffice-de-lang), which works. So I request orphaning and may be refactoring go-openoffice-de-lang to go-openoffice-de. Thanks in advance Adam Hani Schakaki

[aur-general] Removal request - ptscotch_esmumps
by Michele Mocciola 06 Mar '10

06 Mar '10

Please, remove ptscotch_esmumps (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32330) I created this package because I thought it was different from ptscotch, however it seems identical: I linked mumps with ptscotch and ptscotch_esmumps and I saw no difference. So I think it can be safely deleted. mickele
